No. 10,631. Dr. PARIS ON DIET. We copy the following amusing Dialogue, discussing Dr. Paris's excellent work " On Diet," from the last iber of BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE. SiIEPHERD-I would like, Mr. Tickler, if it were not usin' ower much liberty, to ask leave to ring the bell for some toasted 'cheese ? It's a gude while now sin' dinner atid,l'px getting ruin' again into hunger. TICKLER—SureIy, James, surely—you shall have a ton of toasted, cheese. NORTH--My friend Paris, a clever arid charming fellow, has lately, published a work on Diet, in. which I am equally surprised and sorry to see laid down the most pernicious and penurious principles. Few fellows play a better knife and fork than Paris ; yet, in theory, he supports the star- vition system, which, in practice, he does from the very bottom of his stomach condemn. SHEPHERD—Oh, man, there's something very mild wifesh-like in,publishing look to tell folk how to devour their vitties. ,There's nae mystery inthat matter—hunger and thirst are simple straight-forward instincts, no likely to be muckle improved by artificial erudition; and I'll bet you a cheese to a kibbock (by the by, what for is'rno coming ben, the bit Welch rabbit) that your frien's wark on diet will him nae perceptible influence on the character o' the Table during our age. TicKLER- , --The Son of Priam talks away like a Trojan as he is, about the dangerous tendency of indulgence in a multiplicity of dishes. SHEPHERD—He's richt there—nee healthy man has ony use for mair than half a dizzan dishes at dinner,-- soup,,fish, flesh, fowl, taints, and cheese, is aneuch. for ony reasonable— Ttomuit—Hush, Heliogobalus—and hear Paris. " The stomach being distended with soup, the digestion of which from the very nature of 'the operations which are neces sary for its completion, would in itself be a sufficient labour for . that organ, is next tempted with fish, rendered indi gestible from its sauces ; then with, flesh, and foWl ; the vegetable world, as an intelligent reviewer ,has observed ! is ransacked from the Cryptogamia upwards?! NORTH—What a precious ninny the said intelligent re viewer ! TICKLER—" And 'to this miscellaneous aggregate are added the pernicious pasticcios of the pastry cook, and the complex combinations of the confectioner. All these evils and many more, have .those who move in the ordinary so ciety of the present day to contend with." SHEPHERD—HeeI] ' sirs ! hecli, sirs ! Ih—ha— ha ! Porgie me for liurstin out n-lauchin at a clever znin, and a frien' o' yours, gentlemen ; but, o'dear me, my sides, heard ye e'er the like o' that last sentence ! It would be a grand warld, sirs, if man• had rise mair evils to contend against than soups, and fish and flesh, and fowl. As to the whole vegetable warld, free Cryptoga mia upwards, I shall say naething anent that clause.th our calamities, never haVing been at Cryptogamia, which, for any thing I ken to the contrary, may be the neist kintra to Mesopotamia.; neither shall . 1 venture AR, contradick the Doctor about the Pastigeos, unless indeed he mean pigeon-pies, in ity,hich case I gie the te direct in the midst unequivocal and categorical manlier, tqy being the insist halesome o' a' bird-pies whatsomever, whether com mon do.ocoii,.or cushats, only you mamma eat them owed often, Tickum—Bitt the Doctor continues " nine persons in ten eat as much soup and fish as would amply *office for a meal." Sitzpitmtn—A lee ! a lee !--amply suffice for a , meal TICKLER -" A new stimulus appears in the form of stewed beef, cotelettes a la supreme ; then comes a Bay onne or Westphalia ham, or a pickled tongue, or some analogous salted, but proportionably indigestible dish, and each of these enough for a single meal." SHEPHERD—He forgets, he forgets, he Doctor forgets, Mr. Paris, M.D. forgets that each man in the company cannot for his own individual share eat up the whole of the same individual dish. Each man only takes a platefte, or twa at the midst, o' each o' thee dishes ; for wha ever. heard o' being helped three times to ilka dish on the board ? Nae man wou'd bee the face to ask it, and if he did the prayer o' his petition would not be granted. TICKLER , " But this is not all; game follows; and to this again emceed the sweets, and a quantity of cheese?' SHEPHERD , Quite right-,-quite right. 0, Mr. Tick ler, what an effect, after sic a dinner, would Dr. Paris, produce on ,a guest 'by an emetic ! TICKLER , " The whole is crowned with a variety of flatulent fruits and indigestible knick-knacks, included under the name of dessert, in which we must not forget to notice a mountain of sponge cake." SHEPHERD--And then what a cracking , 0'1146, till a pyramid of shells rise up before each member of the club--- but there I agree with the Doctor. TICKLER,' Thus then it is, that the stomach is made to receive, not one full meal, but a succession of meals, rapidly following each other,'and vying in their miscel laneous %.ral pernicious nature with die ingredients of Macbeth's cauldron." . SUEPHERD , There again Dr. Parifespeaks great non sense, for Shakespeare meant no affront to a good dinner-- and too many great folk quote and allude to him with ig norance and presumption. Macbeth's cauldron indeed ! !Tad the Doctor been right, wha, (hut lie a witch or a war lock ? But the truth is, he has written down the starvation system by .the mere simple statement of that of generous repletion. I wish it were now about a quarter of an hour or, ten minutes before dinner, instead of twa hoars offer it ';' but 1:will try and put oft- till stliper, and inenw liii,e here goes a sort o' nonsensical sang. yam and cheep, Th j e f re a 's w sne e soulsatrne m ly in their way; And some through this bright world 'ill creep, As if fear'd for the light 0!

The following speculations . on this eminent States lan's visit to Paris are from the Courier Francais of • Tuesday " The presence of Mr. Canning at Paris, amidst politi cal circumstances which are . daily winning greater interest, forms the constant subject of conversation, vast and his journey altogether opens up a. 4 character of, fiCld for the most contradictory conjectures. " In many of the circles and drawin g .rpoins of London we learn that people incline: more than we do in . Pails to believe that. an English Minister, who, dining the Meese of Parliament, has obtained a six weeks' discharge, frdw business, may, without being charged with any special ne. gociation ' contrive to spend it on the Continent with his family. We have no wish to decide between these con;. flitting opinions of the two Capitals, where so many good folks exercise the trade of umiddlers by special patent, and of infallible oracles in matters of diplomacy. We shall merely recall to our readers'recollection how actiyely:the ierivat. of M. de Metternich also,set t elLbminw and tongues to. work, which Minister, notwithstanding, took his depar tore quietly, without accomplishing any of thernighty things that had been prophesied of him. We are here comparing the circumstances, and by no means the talents or charac ters of these two individuals, which, hi Statesmen of prin ciples.so very different, do not to us appear to admit of any parallel. M. de Metternich took great pains, while at ?aria, to show himself oil . as an important functionary, while Mr. Canning takes very little. The former brought officers, councillors, secretaries; he was surrounded from morn to night with crowds of diplomatists, who assembled, by turns, in his saloons ; he held almost perpetual audiences ; when he visited our Ministers, or those of other Courts, it was with a mighty noise and appearance ; and his parade in receiving was equal to the mystery of his communica tions with that crowd ef'persons, who, at different periods had taken part in great events or great intrigues. In short, he wished to hold himself up as another Atlas of Europe, because on two occasions, and under systems extremely different, he bad assisted in setting up, parcelling out, and oppressing the Continent, and imposing 'upon the Kings, as well as the people, two masters, whom he himself, by taking advantage of the times, sur rounded in succession with the same complaisance and the name flatteries. Mr. Canning puts forth no' such pretensions to public notice. Ile pusses, they say, one half of his time in the bosom of Lord Granville's family, and the other half is devoted to his closet. Abroad, and in the few circles which the season has left in Paris, he is seen much less frequently than the public curiosity, which one of so high fame excites, is disposed to be satisfied with. At the theatre, which he appears to affect, and to be fond of, no appearance of luxury or splendour distin guishes him from those who surround him. Were we to judge from appearances merely, we should term him a Mi nister, upon leave, unfettered by business, seeking neither men of influence, nor parties, nor chiefs, seeing little com pany, in spite of the bustling eagerness displayed by the numbers who are presented to him to offer hint the ex pression of their courtesy. His residence with his family at the. Hotel of the British EmbasSy does not appear to produce there, any greater crowds than on the ordinary levee days, not does the arrival or departure of couriete appear greator,thisrusual. Ae.cortling,to tome persons, the English Secretary has had. tittnnerons privaee conferences with M. do Thoweti` M. l'orzo di Row), and M. -IrAipoui. The frequency of these'interviews is denied again by others, who Imagine that their opportutti, ties of observation are equally mod. It is, quite natural that Mr. Canning and M. tle V dlele should meet each other somewhere else than at the great dinners, where they sometimes are seated together, and where they can but exchange few words—it is quite natural that they should seek for better opportunities of converse, were it only for the . purpose (Abetter knowing each other's diameters, and diving into each other's designs more deeply. Assuredly, with men in their respective situations, there will be no lack of materials for conversation. ".If Mr. Canning hits come to Pariato exstnind narrowly the inexplicable character of our Ministry, he will speedily be convinced that the orators of, the Opposition in the Chambers, and Alieir supplementary organs during the recess, have merely proclaimed the truth, in representing M. Villele to be ag, ita tin it an vacillating in his foreign politics, as he is foible, indecisive, and led in his home ad- Ministration. And if Mr. Canning had at all allowed hiin self to think that he could -prodoee any effect upon Obit a state of things, by the most powerful considerations, he must, ere now, qee that - .his views will not be resl4ed, and that it is not under such a Ministry that -Franee will ever, enjoy a preponderating influence in the Councils of Europe." ~. , ~., ‘,......., ... , ....... . , ' , ~ */ , „.,, ~ • -•- •;s k., , * ~. t---2,- , • • 5 t", t, 4k" , , . ~ , ‘ ,.4,1,. . 1, , 4 ,...5 1 6. i ., 1 , 1 ...‘ : ,\oi 7i- ‘A T*l ,I,"v ;"; i.-< 1 44 1 , 1 15 -- ' - 1, -, ::t,' , I f ‘t.

' We mentioned in our last, that Mr. Green, the celebrated aero naut, had determined to make en ascent, in his new and magnifi cent balloon, from the Potteriete yesterday, the 8d instant. Con siderable interest consequently was excited in tide and the neigh bouring counties; and early in the morning, vast numbers of people —men, women, and children—of 0 1 rank/ and conditions, came pouring into Hanley, in every description of vehicle. Tire pedestrians were almost roundest ; anti before norm, most of the streets within a considerable Ailtance of the place of ascent, were completely crowded with persons anxious to obtain a sight of the balloon. We suppoie that on the whole there were not less than 60,000 persons present, to the majority of whom a balloon was a novel sight. All the bilk for miles round, and every eminence that might be supposed to command a view of the Recent, were co vered with people, and we do not err in asserting that never, at any period, were tinere . ..assembled together in this neighbourhood such a vast concourse. The tops of the houses adjoining the dose where the ascent was to take place were covered with peeple„ assembled to view„this interesting sp e ct ac l e . i n order, howoo . , to were to Mr.' Green some kind of remuneration fin. his' trouble, expense, And . we may arid, risk, poles were erected all round the enclosure, and canvass was nailed on to et consider able height ; the balloon was,thus excluded from, the view of such ." prOilaiuni vulytta" as did• not, or could not, pay for a sight of it. Fortunately fur all classes, the day wai tolerably fine, and such an air of happiness a nt i ga i ety was visible io the countenances of the innnen s e moving multitudes, as show ed perfectly, that so splendid and magnificent a spectacle was very it was, indeed, grat if y i ng interesting to them all. to see as one inl the consequence* of tire progress of knowledge, such au im mense body as a balloon is, piercing the clouds, and as it were, entering the hettlfrOg• Within the enclosure was stationed a band of music, which served to allaY the impatience of such as thought tie interval between their adtnittsion cud the ascent tedious. But such were few : all the preparations were neat, judicious, and worthy of admiration. Tire cords attached to tine netting, for tita purpose of keeping the hapoou down, were held by about ViA half hundred weights, and were brought up to the circnise tome to which tine car was fastened by strong ropes. Mr. Gree,u euper inte;nded all with the coolness of an old voyager, and is evidently possessed o f presMe of mind sufficient to reettfy any accident that might befall him, an event tve hope that may never happen. The ball oon is almost ne w, hiving made but few voyages in tine sir.

I t 4 PRICE 71). any we ever witnessed before, and cost upwards of 700/. Pipes of six inches bore had been laid down from Ugh-street, , Shelton, for the purpose of conducting the gas from the mainpipei to the balloon. The gas used for the purpose of inflation irtla that manufactured at the works. of : the British Gas Light Com. patty. The inflation commenced at eleven o'cl(wk, and the Ind? loon was completely filled before two, when the attendants pro ceeded to unloose the mooting); clear the machine of ineumbran ces, and affix the car. The balloon contained not lees than from 20,000 to 20,000 feet of gas. About two o'clock the close be gan to fill with people. A part was railed off for the accommo dation of work-people, Sce. who were admitted for a shilling each. In a short time the inner part was completely crowded by all the beauty and fashion of the neighbourhood, and at three o'clock the ear Was attached to the balloon. In the car were 12 bags full of sank to ke used as ballast, and a basket, containing a tat, which was i'utended, to be let down from the sky to terra firma by means of a - parachute. During all this time, no intimation had beets given as to with was the person who purposed ascending with Mr. Green. Rumour, with its hundred tongues, mentioned the names of many ; but. after a very long delay,. we learned that the Rev. B. Vale, of Stoke-upon-Trent, was the gentleman who proposed accompanying Mr. Green in 'hied voyage to the upper regions. At twenty minutes to four, the halloo* rose slowly, stall confined by the rope', and Mr., Green and Mr. Vale were seen sitting in - Le car. Occasiottally, Mr.'ll;: threw out a little of the ballast ; and a parachute, with a intake attached, containing a eat, was turned out ;, and the animal de scended in safety. The appearance of the parachute was hailed with much applause, and poor pussy (lid not seem at all disordered by her . aerial imrage. After remaining in the 'air for about ten minutes, the balloon descended. About four o'clock, the- balloon was liberated from the confinement of the Topes. Immediately before this, tke aeronauts were preseated with flaffs, hy.two young ladies, and the halloon rose most majestically, , slowly, and proudly, is a pependi eular direction. As it ascended, Mr. Green bowed to the 1 spectators, who saluted , hlrn on ' all sides with their animating sheers. The aeronauts waved their flags in return. Seldom have we witnessed a sight of suck real magnificence and beauty. The 'Majestic and imposing appearance of the immense balloon, the anxiety of the crowd, the eager aspirations for the safety of the aeronauts uttered by a thousand tongues, and the wonder, surprise, and astonishment of all, the spectators, made the tout ensemble quite delightful. The balloon, on rising, floated for a moment in the air, and then, as if impatient to pierce the clouds, burst for ward with rapidity, " and rose from earth to sky." The bal loon sailed slowly along in a north-easterly direction ; and although the sun did not shine as brilliantly as in the early part of the day, yet its beams were reflected from it is a splendid manner. An universal shout and eager eyes followed the progress of the mighty body with delight and wonder. Owing to the cloudy state of the atmosphere, the balloon was not visible more than twenty minutes. Mr. Green was the first person who tried experiments ou the buoyant, properties of coal gas, and has constantly used it. WON]) EDITION. VOVAtif: ANT , DESCKNT Oir %IR. PREEN AND REV. E. VALE. From the Pottery Mercury.) It being generally understood, that Mr. Green would return to Hanley with the utmost expedition, when he had made his descent, a considerable number of persons aase►nbled, during the.rvening, at the Swan, to welcome and his companion (the BM 13, Vale) from the high regions of air. About ten o'clock in the evening, a party of the friends of these gentlemen had awn - tided, and waited most anxiously for their return : yet such was the general confidence of Mr. Green's skill, intrepidity, and courage of mind, that no doubts were held of his effecting his descent iu 1 safety. Time however rolled by rapidly, anti yet no tiding of the zero tints clone to band, but still their friends determined to await their arrival, Nor were their anticipations falsified, for at ten minutes before twelve, the rattle of a chaise and four was heard slant the atm din another minute, doubt—if there were any riteeta4gyydoy , the appearam. of.Msses. Green and Vale, Who 'were welcomed by the shouts and hearty greetings of their. friende. Mr. Vale expressed the very great piessure Itii.exonesion bud }rata Lou, cud his the aide manner in which Mr. Green see,aiiplialled his descent. The balloon diecended at ! o'clock, e. sm. yesterday, at Cont inuo'', about four mile' from Ashbourne after a voyage of about twenty 'lilies, without a single rebound of ear. We had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Green, immediately after his arrival, and have gleaned the following particulars from the hasty conversation we hail with him. After wending from Captain Simpson's close, thehalloon took a north-east direction, and, from the strength of the gas, rose with great rapidity. The highest elevation which the balloon attained, was about two mike, and that Was when passing over the submits of Leek. Thw voyage was by no means a pleasant one, owing to the (Imlay state of the weather, which prevented the reronaute from taking a ;surrey of the country of more than twenty miles at once. We think that on a tine day, with a pure, cloudless sky, the apt pearance presented ,to aironauts from the earth beneath them, must he a moat imposing and magnificent thing ; and, we would leave imp►easions an the ni►nd' never to be erase►l. In passing through the heavy clouds, the voyagers got;mots pletely wet, At the period of their descent, the wind arose, and was rather troublesome; but the grappling irons, after tearing ep the earth, and throwing down several parts of the stuns walls, caught ut last, and the balloon made 'a speedy and safe descent, when they quitted the car, having been up in the air for one hour, in which time they accomplished a journey of twenty miles. The late arrival of Messrs. Green and Vale was to their having to wait three hours for a conveyance front Ashbourne. When ascending from Hanley, Mr. Green took - with him a carrier pigeon, belonging to a gentleman of this town, intending to let ittly at'the time aecomplished his descent; with a note sig nifying the time, place, &c.

On Wednesday evening a me . etwit. f iduciwym44 . mi - , Neavers took plate at the Brunswick thapil, Mile-end road. At a meeting held on the 29th of August, a Com ruittee waa.appointed for the purpose of proposing an ad dress to his Majesty, representing the distressed condition to which they were reduced, and imploring his Maiesty's gracious patronage for the silk-trade of Spitallields and its vicinity. .The meeting of Wednesday was called to receive the report of the Committee, and to hear the report read. The building in which they met was completely tilled, and several of the silk-manufacturers were present. Mr. ROBERT ROULTYR was called to the chair. Mr. POYTON, one of the Committee, read the reso lutions of the previous meting, 10116, disclaiming any intention of interfering . with the high decision of the Legislattire, declared, it necessary that an hum ble address should be presented to his Majesty, the Royal. family, and the nobility and gentry of the United KingdoMs, to patronize and encourage the silk-trade of Spitalfields. Mr. PaytOn Said, that in pursuance of then resolutions, the Conunittee had prepared the draught of 4,, address to his Majesty, which would be submitted to them for their approval. The. Committee, he said, fully and con iidently anticipated a most gracious answer to their address from his Majesty, and upon that answer would be grounded their address to the other members of his Majesty's fandly, anti to the nobility in general; and they might expect from it the - nitisi iMportaiit adventages- to the interest of their Made in enerid. lie therefore entreated their most earned attention to the reading of the address. Mr. William ThomPson, jun, then read the address to the fob:wing effect That His Majesty's dutiful, loyal, awl obedient subjects, " the Operative Broad Silk Weavers' of Spitalfit Ws and its vicinity, with all humility (hut under tireumshtnees of the most urgent distress) ; beg, !save to approach his,,Majesty, from a full knowledge that His Majesty lullowed the example 4 inii!)oe royal faimr, is be. einallig the benefactiir of, the weavene'of spraudfivkla, That, in thus addressing their beloved Kiug, they are taut net. inhullnl of the great condescension and benevolent aosietonce which Ilia Majesty had, on a recent occasion, so liberallyand graciously Afforded them, for which they moat humbly expiew their, feigned thanks and heartfelt gratitude. They then beg leave with all humility to state, that for upwardo of 50 year* previously to 1824, tbe,priees of labour performed by Spitaltields' weavers were regulated by the county magistrattse, under the authority of an act passed in the 13th year of his late Majesty's reign ; but that ," beneficial statutar,haing been re pealed in the reign of his present,Majeety, they are now under the necessity of appealing to his Majesty's paternal feelings ; of►d ira addressing his Majesty on this particular .subject, as their father, friend, and King, they " are strengthened with ►►tore (validate'', (mat a recollection of the,_gracious reeeptiou their ancestors ax•- perienced when they waited upon his late revered Majesty iu a els, Miler season of depre:tsion and great distreati." • They beg to be permitted to state, that although humble ludivi duals in the scale of society, they yield to no chute of British sub jeets in devotion to his Majesty's' Royal person and the illustrious house of Brunswick, in firm attachment 'to their noble eouutry and happy constitution ; being always readr to shed their Wood in its defence., whenever it shall please 'his Majesty to call quit them for that purpose. That in times of great national alum, when the eafety of th e country was threatened by external and internal enemies, suit when part of his Majesty's subjects were almost in a state of Open rebellion, the operative silk-weavers of Spitalfields mains:anted un- * shaken their, loyalty and firm attachment to his Majesty's person ; and the British Constitution, notwithetawling the insidious arts , of the disaffected, who vainly endeavoured to undermine the loyal awl constitutional principles of the Spitalfields weavers. They further beg leave to represent, that in consequence of the 'repeal of the Spitaltields' Acts, the introduction of foreign wrought silks, and the competition arising front that new measure of Go 'vernment, the weevers uf, hare experienced the greatest iativerearies awl misery ; their rate of wages having been reduced to so low a state as to render an appliestion to the parish funds in many instances absolutely necessary to i preserve theni front utter starvation, even when in full and constant employ. That this re doction in the puce of labour, is ruinous to the motile and consti tution of the workmen ; the extra honnewhich they are forced ,to labour tending to shorten the aeration of life, and crowd the parochial workbotates with orphan children, thus virtually pros. diming no real advantage to. the'publie, inasmuch as it cause* an absolute redundancy of goOds it the market, witheut any in cremeuJ the mind* of coustauelo. , They prufeetethe most profound tespeet for the deeleitent of the Legislature, ;ocl feel a conviction that Bus Majesty's euiightened Ministers win do all in their power thr their benefit and th e Go v4rmneet twill, tkihtlos, porceive the dreadful canteepitiocee of having a pauper popiilation of so litany thoutenel individu a t e i n th e very centre of thin vast metropolis, with the dreary prospect of a fast eperpaching winter before them. They, therefore, supplicate His Majesti's gracious interference in their behalf, by patronizing, as much as possible, the Spital fields' in preference to foreimeilks, and profess their capability of foaling their manufactures superior to the choicest production of th e .French loom, or the delicate fabrics of India, provided the royal pattenage is graciously vouvhsufed to, them. The address then coneludes• with a renewal of the ex pression, of loyalty and firm attachment to hia Majesty's person, fatuity, and (46vernMent. Mr. TtlitaWAlN having rend' this address, said time weavers' entice had a sun which shone' upon them in the Spitalfields'isit, but that protection was now removed, ansl its rays darkened. No class of men, he said, was more ill used than the journey Men weavers; not so much 'by his Majesty's Goversment, as by ,many of the ts;,l i ir mi tu d az . earfi ter ab o ° fl u ' t , curers, who, having exerted themselves to get time Spital fields acts repealed, took advantage of ",,'ne repeal to reduce their prices so low, that with their 'ttmost endeavours, th e ILtiltill'oyfil'tiltettaradseu,paposit'statai,nblyist:vraobrkle eoiseitsattt.;iolcuelt.l I b n er s e o ly tne o b b rt ta t i l l e t night, six days in the week,could only bilitOstb, eySownseerearsysetraysgfetwheniisi,dleste,dad, ing hard from 'morning to not mast better than one out of every fifty of the imserithttaidn: persons then present.
